An update to this review concerning Potensic Support. As with any product new to the market I have experienced a few bugs with the Atom SE. The Potensic support team has worked with me on each of these issues and there have been a few firmware updates that greatly improve it’s operation. Many of these have been at the suggestion of Atom SE owners. They listen to and welcome our input to improve their product. Most recently the onboard compass has apparently failed and my Atom crashed pretty hard. Support sent instructiions I followed but to no avail. Potensic has apologized for any inconvience and is replacing the drone under warranty. As I said at the end of my initial review the Potensic Support team is quite simply the BEST support staff I have dealt with in over thirty years. They stand behind their products and work with customers to keep us satisfied and flying. Thank you Potensic, you folks are great!!
I received my new Atom SE on Wednesday the weather was very overcast so I was only about to charge and start everything. Location, firmware update and time to fly. I am not easily impressed, but the short version of what I think of this drone, WOW! This drone flies amazingly well for one in this price range. Control inputs are instant, crisp, and very sensitive and took a bit of getting used to. Just basic maneuvers on the first day and it performs all of them extremely well.
The weather finally broke today (Sunday 1/15/22) and it was off to the park to put it through it’s paces. Temperature was around 35 degrees F and brisk winds (Ground level 8-16 MPH) at around 80 ft. altitude wind gusted up to 32 MPH. It handles the wind better than I expected, it holds position and is stable except in the strong gusts. Even then it does move maybe 10 ft. when the gust stops it recovers right back to steady hover. Despite the cold and wind the battery life is almost dead on the rated flight time. I got 28 minutes of flying on the first battery with 10% left, the wind had increased a fair bit so the second battery flight time was 24 minutes with 10% left and considering how it fought the wind so well I am very, very pleased with flight time. Was great fun, but with a couple of extra batteries it will be a blast (sorry wallet).
Time to test the autonomous features. First the follow mode and it certainly does so. No matter the direction or number of direction changes it follows and keeps me in the frame. Circle mode is flawless and smooth (as my grampa used to say it’s as smooth as the south end of a north bound baby). Waypoint mode again flawless, flies to each point smoothly and turns the corners crisply.
The best part of this little gem is the camera, it is amazing. It will record video at 4K 30FPS, 2.7K 30FPS, 1080P and 270P. The EIS gives you a very smooth video. The photos, well you can almost count the leaves on the trees and the colors are vibrant and sharp. A three axis gimbal and some more camera settings I think would give DJI Mini 2 a run for it’s money.
In conclusion I am extremely happy with my Atom SE and highly recommend it especially for those who can’t afford the likes of DJI or Autel. This is a very reasonably priced beginner to intermediate drone. I would love to see a three axis gimbal for even smoother and quality videos. Not to mention this is not my first Potensic drone and their support team is heads and shoulders above the norm, they are polite, prompt and most helpful. I give this drone five gold stars!

I am new to drone flying so I wanted a drone that would be as easy to fly as possible. My search brought me to the Potensic and its amazing versality and power, at an affordable price. The customer write-ups were very positive and, of course, it was sold through Amazon with the quality control and price guarantees they offer. So, I bought it. Delivery was swift – it arrived the following day.
Manual and video instructions are on line, and they were a little difficult to access at first, but Potensic Customer Support was great and sorted this out very quickly – a special ‘shout out’ to Ruby. It did not take me long to “get airborne” and discover how surprisingly easy it is to fly – even indoors. The aircraft is very stable and does not drift, so steering it through doorways was a simple process, although I do confess to getting confused over the in-flight steering, which caused the drone to collide with the wall and damage a couple of the propellers. That was clearly due to my inexperience and over-confidence (it is that good) and not due to problems with the drone itself. So my advice is, reign in your enthusiasm and make sure you read the manual and operating instructions thoroughly. As a first test flight just get used to the control sticks and remember that, depending on the aspect and position of the drone (ie if it is facing you), turning the stick left may actually be wrong, as I found out!
I have flown it outside and am hugely impressed by the quality of the real time images displayed and the straightforward process to record and view the flight subsequently.
Even though weighing under 250 gms, as a drone with a camera it is necessary to register with the CAA as a drone operator, which I did as soon as I received my aircraft. It is inexpensive. As each day passes, I am becoming more adept at flying my Potensic ATOM SE drone and I am hoping to take it with me to fly when I go abroad on holiday. If you plan to do the same, check the regulations applicable in your destination. Within Europe, they are EASA Regs (also available on the internet).
In summary, this is a super little drone, flies incredibly well, is easy to manoeuvre, has 31 minutes flight time per battery, has a very good onboard gimble mounted camera with high resolution recordable images (still and video), a return home feature and is sold at an affordable price. Last, but not least, it comes with a first rate customer support service. So, if you are looking for a compact and reliable drone, this could be the one for you. It was for me.

Great drone for beginner.

The media could not be loaded.
I’m new to using these vehicles (under 5 hours flight time so far) and spent a lot of time deciding on which would be my first. I am extremely pleased I chose this one! The video included in this review has been greatly reduced for posting here but, trust me the 4k30fps original is truly quite spectacular for such a reasonably priced drone. I have found a little forward flight and gentle control movements while maneuvering greatly increases image stability, even in the 6-8 meter per second gusts present during capture.
The flight characteristics of this vehicle are intuitive, very tame and highly competent. Mine has exceeded all claims made in the product description and then some. Battery life is terrific and the transmission range is quite frankly amazing. Even with power lines in between and a security system broadcasting nearby on 2.4gHz I can fly out 1000 meters and more. The controls are very, very smooth.
This quad-copter is helping me gain skill and confidence. All I could have asked for and more.
Thank you Potensic!
*Update one year later…
This has proven to be an excellent purchase. I have zero complaints and have had absolutely no reason to contact Potensic, for anything other than to give my profound thanks for offering so much quality for so little cost. In fact I have nothing but praise for Potensic and this magnificent little flying machine – with a camera attached!
Again many, many thanks.

Got interested in drones and thought I’d finally give it a go. Settled on this one. Good quality workmanship. Drone has a microSD card slot and will take a 256Gig card. Comes with a spare set of propeller blades, screws and tiny Phillips screw driver. Two batteries delivering a total of 60 minutes flight time. (30 mins per battery) Good quality carry case as well. Comes with three different connecting cables depending on what phone you have to connect your phone to the remote control. The instructions are easy to follow and includes pictures. My first time testing was indoors to get a feel for the controls. Everything seemed OK so outside I went. Drone is easy to control. Left joystick handles up/down/turn left/turn right while the right joystick is for going forward/backward/left/right. BTW, NEVER fly the drone backwards as you can easy hit a tree (Been there, did that, used my neighbors pickup to put my extension ladder in the bed to give me 4 extra feet in height so I was able to get my drone out of the tree!! Yes, that was an “Oops” moment. LOL) This goes back to the quality of the drone as nothing broke. Drone was in perfect working condition. Another feature I like is if the battery gets low then the drone software will automatically perform RTB and climbs to ~193 feet and comes right back to where it took off. I’ve already taken pictures and video; at 4K the picture quality is superb. My only con is the drone doesn’t put a date/time stamp on the pictures or videos so you cannot tell when it was taken/recorded. If anyone knows if that can be done then please let me know. Finally, I’ve added two pictures of right after I unboxed the drone and another picture taken during the flight. Controls are easy to use with only a little learning curve (like, how to avoid trees LOL). I definitely recommend this drone.

Voulant acheter un drone pas trop cher
J’ai opté pour le potensic ATOM SE
Combo gps
La mise en route est simple et en français de plus
Un gros firmware au démarrage ce fait
Puis vient la découverte de ce drone
N’ayant eu jamais de drone,je n’ai donc pas de remarques négatives à écrire
Pour les débutants comme moi,il y a trois modes de vitesse
Video/normal/sport
Le mode vidéo est parfait
Ensuite la hauteur,pour ma part,je suis monté à plus de 100 mètres
Pour faire un 360
Le résultat est assez bluffant, mais c’est limite question stress
Donc excellent produit,pas trop cher au vu de la qualités des matériaux utilisés/ rien ne grippe ni ne coince rien ne fait cheap
Simplement méfiez-vous du vent car le drone est leger et se laisse emporter pas facilement mais il derive gentiment
Il faut donc être souvent en alerte pour le vent/la hauteur/ la vitesse
Chi va piano va sano 😉
Autrement la vidéo est correcte mais pas exceptionnelle
J’oubliais,surveillez souvent la jauge de la batterie
Je me suis retrouvé avec le drone qui retournait a son point de depart deux fois et cela fait tout drôle lorsque vous ne vous y attendez pas
être en alerte c’est le maître mots
Et ensuite ce n’est que du plaisir

Ho atteso un po’ di tempo prima di recensire il drone per poterlo provare in maniera approfondita.
Di questo drone: mi piace tutto, la qualità costruttiva, la qualità delle foto e video, la durata della batteria (circa 45 minuti di volo con 2 batterie), la funzionalità e semplicità dell’applicazione.
Il GPS funziona perfettamente, quando il segnale viene perso o la batteria è scarica il drone torna automaticamente alla posizione di decollo.
Anche il radiocomando e fatto bene ed è molto funzionale.
Molto stabile anche con raffiche di vento abbastanza sostenuto.
Importante per volare in modo legale, serve registrarsi D-FLIGHT per gli aggiornamenti sulle mappe di volo e stipulare una polizza assicurativa.
Buonissimo il rapporto qualità-prezzo.
In conclusione ottimo drone, consigliatissimo l’acquisto.

The Potensic ATOM SE was highly rated on YouTube so I purchased one for my birthday. It arrived the next day. I followed all the instructions and after I pressed the launch button I knew this drone was the one Ive been looking for. It hovered 5 feet above the launch pad and was perfectly steady even though winds were 7-10 mph. I was surprised to see that it was connected to 24 satellites. I hit record and flew for 20 minutes. Even though it was my first flight, I wasn’t nervous because of the safety features. If the battery was too low or if I lost signal it automatically returns to the spot where it was launched. I didnt want to go too far on the first flight so once I reached one mile out, I hit the return home button. The drone elevated to the 200 foot setting then it flew back over my head and landed without my help, 18 inches from the launch pad. This drone is so steady and easy to fly. I am a novice and I had no problems flying. I have only flown one other cheap drone once or twice and I just got tired of running after it. This drone with the remote that connects to any phone is so easy to use. I am so pleased with this drone, I bought one for my son and after I let my two best friends fly it, both have ordered one. The flight time, distance, steadiness and safety features are well worth the cost of this drone. Then you add the 4K video quality and the choice is easy. I love the waypoints feature because I have property for hunting and fishing. I pick 4 or 5 green fields (deer plots) from the GPS map and the drone flies to each spot while I watch and record the deer and turkey. The drone doesnt seem to bother the deer unless it is 50 feet or less from the ground. The drone is also used to identify trespassers. I can fly the drone to where I hear ATVS or gunshots and take a high resolution photo of the trespasser or vehicle or license plate. I could keep signing this products praises but I am about to go flying. Do yourself a favor and try the Potensic ATOM SE. You will be glad you did.
